An Ethiopian woman was part of seven people executed by the Kuwaiti government this week.

According to the public prosecution service, the other executed persons included a Kuwaiti woman, a Syrian and a Pakistani man and three Kuwaiti men.

“They deprived the victims of their most sacred right in this world, which is the right to life,” Kuwait’s public prosecution said in a statement.

Kuwait has executed nearly 80 people since the 1960’s, mostly on murder or drugs cases.

This marked the Gulf State’s first executions in five years, rebuffing pleas for clemency from international rights campaigners.
